UK: Operation Chaos: Whitehall's secret no-deal Brexit preparations leaked (The

Times) - From Sunday

- Britain faces shortages of fuel, food and medicine, a three-month meltdown at

its ports, a hard border with Ireland and rising costs in social care in the

event of a no-deal Brexit, according to an unprecedented leak of government

documents that lay bare the gaps in contingency planning.

- The documents, which set out the most likely aftershocks of a no-deal Brexit

rather than worst-case scenarios, have emerged as the UK looks increasingly

likely to crash out of the EU without a deal.

- Compiled this month by the Cabinet Office under the codename Operation

Yellowhammer, the dossier offers a rare glimpse into the covert planning being

carried out by the government to avert a catastrophic collapse in the nation's

infrastructure.
